I had unprotected sex with my ex-girlfriend on September 25th. After 10 days, I developed a sore throat with irritation of the uvula, dizziness, and ear pain when swallowing, which have since mostly resolved. I'm concerned about HIV acute infection. My ex-girlfriend is a bodybuilder who claims to be clean and hasn't been with anyone in a long time. Are my symptoms worrisome for HIV? What are the odds of contracting HIV if she was on her period, assuming she is HIV-positive, from a single exposure of about 10 minutes? Should I get tested, and if so, when? Additionally, I have experienced a stiff neck, tension in the head, mild headaches, and mild dizziness. Could these be related to HIV or anxiety? Finally, I found mold in my apartment and have symptoms similar to mold exposure. Would this show up in my blood tests, and do I need a different type of test to check for mold exposure?
